As fall rolls around, it’s time to start contemplating the damage that’s been done to your skin after spending a few too many hours at the pool this summer. While facials and skincare products can improve your skin condition, they don’t compare to the rejuvenation of laser treatments.
Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure that has been around for nearly 35 years. It is a light shaving of facial skin and peach fuzz using a rounded-tip blade. Your esthetician will glide the blade against tightly pulled skin for a gentle exfoliation and removal of fine hair and dead skin, leaving you with a smooth and glowing complexion.
Small dirt, dust and soot particles, as well as gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, can harm and prematurely age your skin. Skin does its best to act as a barrier to such environmental factors, however, it is not completely impenetrable. Pollution can break down the lipids and collagen found in your skin, weakening its ability to combat external factors. When your skin’s barrier is broken down, pollutants gain better access to it, making you more susceptible to clogged pores, irritation, rashes, breakouts and premature fine lines and wrinkles.
Skincare trends from 2019 have trickled into the new decade, however, only a few months into 2020 and there are already more to add to the list! Our board-certified dermatologists and licensed estheticians offer you their expert advice on what skincare trends to expect this year.
